As she continues to develop her skills in her approach work and arm, her versatility to play multiple positions across the net will create great opportunity for her as well as increase her impact. As she jumps well, when her feet get to the ball and she's on time in the air, she can swing with good authority at both pins. Expect her to make some big gains this club season as she and her AVC 15 Red team will face some big competition in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["786692"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977c77dd6f29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eckert made a good splash at the varsity level for Hilliard Davidson this past fall as she shared the team lead offensively at 2.8 k/s while earning a team high output in served aces. Although her high school team success was limited, expect her skills to produce a lot of points and wins for her Elite VBTC 15 Black team this club season. Her aggressive approach and arm shined recently at the MLK Extravaganza event as she was named to the all-tournament team during her team's gold bracket runner-up effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["901515"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977c77dd6f82"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bollenbacher (*pictured) was an offensive bright spot among a group featuring underclassmen and veterans for St. Henry as they earned a runner-up finish in the Division V Ohio state tournament. She was part of a corps of key attackers and point scorers earning 2.3 k/s. Through a savvy and confident effort, Bollenbacher's game includes aggressive hitting and good touch in her off speed game as a primary pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914702"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977c77dd6fd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCormick is one to keep an eye on as she quietly contributed solid numbers for Milford this past Fall high school season behind their core group of arms. Her numbers were solid with 131 kills for a 1.7 k/s average and a .298 efficiency. On the defensive side, she led her squad at 2.3 b/m. As a middle, she develops good space around her setter to give her room to swing through both edges of the court while her athleticism helps her get on top of the ball well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769421"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6977c77dd7027"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh Jesuit had one of their best seasons in recent years at 13-11 overall as O'Brien led them offensively at 3.2 k/s on 252 total kills. She returns to her AVC squad that features a handful of capable arms through each rotation as her effort last year at the right pin helped create some good balance in their point scoring. A key part of her game going forward will be her explosiveness off the floor that, if increased, will benefit her attacking as well as her ability to defend at the net against opposing outside hitters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
